Frequently Asked Questions

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness or imbalance in the body. It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors to optimize health and prevent disease.

How is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?

Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or surgeries, functional medicine seeks to understand and address the underlying factors contributing to health issues. It emphasizes a holistic approach, aiming to promote wellness rather than just managing disease.

What Conditions Can Functional Medicine Address?

Functional medicine can address a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, and more. It's particularly effective for conditions with complex underlying causes.

What Can I Expect During a Functional Medicine Consultation?

You can expect a comprehensive assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health concerns.

Why Packages?

We have found that providing packages allows the time to attend to each patient in the way that they deserve - including in between visits.

With a program design, patients are better able to:

Get questions answered sooner
Give feedback about what is or isn't working
Hit those health goals faster
Get the personalized service and root cause analysis needed to completely address all health concerns

Do You Take Insurance?

The short answer is no. There is a long explanation about why not, but basically you come to functional medicine because it is different and better - but insurance doesn't recognize that.

We do offer superbills that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement, and payment plans are available as well.

Some people pay with pre-tax FSA/HSA funds.

The goal is to get you healthy, so we try to give as many payment options as possible!
